History

Following the invasion of Poland at the beginning of the Second World War, Ciechocinek was occupied by Nazi Germany and incorporated into the Reichsgau Wartheland as part of the district/county (kreis) of Hermannsbad. During the war the town functioned as a military hospital and also as a health resort for German citizens.
